Lisa's Literary Life

Pages

I read. I love to read. I love to read a lot. And I love to read a lot of different types of books. Come join me on a genre defying adventure! From history to Harry Potter; science to Stephen King; classics to comics; sci-fi, chick lit, young adult, biographies, fantasy, romance, bestsellers, indie authors, world issues, local flair - a true sampling for all ages and tastes.
Happy Reading to all and to all a Book Light!

“Resolve to edge in a little reading every day, if it is but a single sentence. If you gain fifteen minutes a day, it will make itself felt at the end of the year.”
~ Horace Mann

I haven't shared a good quote in a while and this one sort of goes along with my snail's pace of reading this year. In past winters, I've consumed books as quickly as I could carry them out of the library, but I've found myself taking things slower this year. I'm purposely not signing up for any reading challenges as I don't want any pressure to compel myself to reach a certain number of books read. But, despite numerous other things in life that pull me away from my passion for pages (and my enjoyment of blogging!), I like this quote because it fits my current reading goals of the year. I'm not going to push myself to compete with past years when I finished 80, 90, or 100+ works in under twelve months, but I do want to focus on reading every day.

And I do think I will feel it at year's end.

Do you set reading goals for yourself each year? What do you think about the goal of just a little bit of reading each day?

However, I did meet my goodreads goal last year, and thanks to having a student teacher for a number of weeks this year (therefore little homework now on most evening and weekends), I may meet my reading goal for this year.

We shall see!
